Title: Minor issue with some MUI string gadgets (AOS 3.x)
Post by: AmigaMance on August 28, 2009, 08:24:50 PM

Hi.
 I see that in some programs like AmIRC and others, string gadgets doesn't obey to some key combinations. For example CTRL+X, (erases whole text entry) ALT+left/right arrow. (moves cursor one word backward/forward)
 Is there a way to fix this?

If a MUI program is using the default string gadget in MUI3.8, you won't have many options. If a programmer chooses to use BatterString.mcc or another string replacement library, you will find you have more options and more features. MUI3.9 (For AmigaOS4) and MUI4 (For MorphOS) both have better default string gadgets, so some programmers using those newer OSs sometimes forget that the OS3 version of the program they're coding should use a better string gadget.
